Search - Johnny Romania :: Popchaser

Solid debut from a Memphis Band

04/17/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Johnny Romania's debut cd, "popchaser," is a refreshing mix of pop, rock, and electronica. Heavy on the synthesisers, the album creates an ambient mood, yet, at the same time, does not fall into the cliche' of pop/electronic as many albums lately have. Johnny Romania's sound is distinctly their own. Musical hightlights include the spacy "my love is true" (complete with Radiohead sample), "taking from the stars" (borrowing from New Wave and punk influences), and "let you down." With "popchaser," Johnny Romania have established themselves as force to be reckoned with, not only on the Memphis music scene, but on the music scene as a whole."

Good stuff

""popchaser" is a good bit of electro/pop madness, at different times sounding like 80's new wave, straight-ahead indie rock, and pure 90's electronica. recommended if you like any of that stuff."
